She recently penned an article for Cancer Nursing Today asking the question – Who Broke American Health Care?
RFDS Flight nurse, Ann Rahn and her husband Wayne are passionate advocates for the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Ann wants women of ALL ages to understand that there are many different types and stages of breast cancer, that can impact women in any stage of their life. In the midst of Covid and working as a nurse in Darwin, Ann realised her breast was feeling sore. But having experienced no other symptoms or signs, Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer was certainly not the diagnosis she was expecting. *** Thanks so much for listening to the Flying Doctor Podcast.

Today we talk with a nurse who is currently in school to become a CRNA and is officially a millionaire. Roughly 10 years ago he and his wife took control of their finances. He said there was some tough conversations as they educated themselves about how to become financially literate and what their goals should be and how to reach them. But once they were on the same page they were able to start crushing their goals. Their big goal was to be millionaires by 40 and they got there a few years early. He is now passionate about giving back both financially and educating coworkers about how to get started with taking control of their financial life. After the interview Dr. Dahle gives his thoughts on how to get started for finance 101. We estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price.

When professor of English literature Theresa Brown, PhD, BSN, RN decided to become an oncology nurse, she suddenly found herself juggling seemingly-impossible patient expectations.

It is the day of surgery. This episode describes my pre-operative experience. I arrived 3 hours before I was scheduled to go to surgery. There were several things I needed to do to be ready for the operating room. I refer to some of what I know from work as a nurse and describe much of the unfamiliarity that comes with being a patient and undergoing surgery for the very first time.

Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling author and oncology nurse Theresa Brown to discuss Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient, a riveting memoir about navigating the imperfect American healthcare system after a sudden breast cancer diagnosis. Theresa talks about the lack of compassion she encountered in a profit-obsessed system, the challenge of writing this book before coming to terms with her experience (it took moving to a new neighborhood!), and the complex topic she's tackling in her next book.

Theresa and I run the gamut in this conversation, from her many experiences as a nurse to her sudden role as a breast cancer patient. Her book -- Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient -- forms the basis of our wide-ranging conversation. We cover her experience plus compassion, empathy, overwhelm, our for-profit medical system, and the varied challenges/obstacles/mazes that patients face. This discussion touches all of us at some point, because we all interface with the medical world. And how to do it in the best way possible, for everyone involved in patient care?
Theresa Brown, Ph.D., RN, BSN - A conversation about Breast Cancer - Going from Oncology Nurse to Cancer PatientTheresa Brown, Ph.D., RN, a New York Times bestselling writer of Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient, explores her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in the context of her work as an oncology nurse. When an oncology nurse is diagnosed with cancer, she has to confront the most critical, terrified, and angry patient she's ever encountered: herself. She also wrote The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives.

Our feelings are a Natural part of life, these feelings warn us and give us signals about what our body needs. As a Nurse it can be easy to hide or distract ourselves from the feels because it is all too overwhelming. One way I distracted and comforted myself was by eating. Emotional eating was another form of self sabotage because I used this habit to deal with my stress instead of learn from it! I didn't realize that is what I was doing I was just trying to survive ! It wasn't until I did some loving and quiet introspection that I could be really honest with myself so I could change. Creating a Healthy Relationship with food is how I overcame and so can you! Take back your life and your health by practicing better self care strategies so you can show up as the powerful Nurse you are meant to be ! Give your very best to others by putting yourself first and self care is how we do that! Join the conversation as we Glow up thru the Emotional Eating!

Today on the show, I proudly welcome New York Times bestselling author Dr. Theresa Brown, RN. Her new book, "Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient," is now available in hardcover, and what read it is. Theresa has a phenomenal sense of humor and an inherently advantageous perspective on the inner workings of healthcare. Yet, when the coin flipped, she found herself a fish out of water while still swimming in the fishbowl. So, brace yourself for the usual 80s nostalgia train combined with some horrible Dad jokes, a smidgen of survivor guilt, and a wild ride through the "cancer is a contest" theater of the absurd. Fun fact: This episode may be the first show I've ever done that channels Fast times at Ridgemont High and Ferris Bueller through the lens of nursing while throwing tons of shade at Grey's Anatomy. Oh, one last thing. We had a couple of sound glitches during the show, and my editor Kyle did his best to compensate for it. So please forgive any blips, bleeps, and weird stuff. So without further ado, I present Theresa Brown. Enjoy the show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today's episode, I speak with the NY Times Best Selling author, Theresa Brown, RN. In her new memoir, HEALING: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient, (Algonquin Books: April 12, 2022), Brown tells her intensely personal story and presents an honest – and rare – look at struggling with the illness while navigating the maze of American health care from the unique standpoint of both a patient and a practitioner. Brown vividly chronicles her journey, from the mammogram appointment that would change her life to her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. She writes about the small joys she finds amid her fears – riding her bike to radiation appointments, a hiking trip with her husband and kids, and the constancy of her dog. But despite years working as an oncology and hospice nurse, Brown is constantly surprised by the lack of compassion she experiences during her treatment. Links: Buy the book.

There are misconceptions about nursing that many people don't understand. As nurses, we struggle with many things, and as part of the healthcare system, we are expected to be at a particular place in the hierarchy. We are often looked down and are expected to "do as we're told" rather than a colleague. While this isn't always the case, it is happening in many hospital settings. How can we change these misconceptions? What can nurses do to help each other? In today's episode, we welcome our guest, Theresa Brown. She is a nurse turned author of the New York Times bestsellers Critical Care, The Shift, and Healing: When a Nurse Becomes the Patient. She also shared her experiences as a nurse and patient after being diagnosed with cancer. So join us as we learn about the misconceptions of nursing and what we can do to change that.

Natasha Curry is not your everyday average nurse. As a palliative care nurse practitioner at San Francisco General Hospital, she cares for the poorest and most vulnerable at what is often the most challenging time of their lives. Many patients are homeless and also struggling with substance abuse and mental illness, in addition to cancer and other life-limiting diseases. It's tough and heart-breaking work. Last year, while leading a Doctors Without Borders cervical cancer mission in Malawi, Natasha's husband of 25 years announced in a text message that he was leaving. She returned home, fell into bed for a few weeks, and eventually with the help of her friends she pulled herself together and went back to work. A few months later when she discovered an almond-sized lump in her armpit, she did everything she tells her patients not to do and dismissed it, or wrote it off as a “fat lump." Months went by before she finally got a mammogram, but radiology saw nothing in either breast. It was the armpit lump that caught their attention. Next step was an ultrasound, where the lump was clearly visible. One painful biopsy later, Natasha found out she had cancer; in one life-changing moment, the nurse became the patient. This is Natasha's breast cancer story, told in real time.

Episode page and links: https://valuecapturellc.com/he65 Welcome to Episode #65 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture. Joining us again today is Theresa Brown, PhD, BSN, RN. She is a nurse and writer who lives in Pittsburgh. Her third book — Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient — is available now. It explores her diagnosis of and treatment for breast cancer in the context of her own nursing work. Her book, The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives, was a New York Times Bestseller. Theresa's BSN is from the University of Pittsburgh, and during what she calls her past life she received a PhD in English from the University of Chicago. Today's episode is the second part of a two-part series with Theresa that started in episode #64. In today's episode, Theresa talks about the conviction of RaDonda Vaught -- why is this triggering a lot of fear amongst nurses -- and they talk more about the issues she raises in her books. Host Mark Graban also asks Theresa questions and discusses topics including: 250,000 Americans a year are dying from medical errors and “no one is doing much to change that” — why is that? What can be done (or needs to be done) to reduce infections and medication errors? You've written about mistakes you've made… and you wrote about how that wasn't easy. What happened with the mistake you made (and I hate how that sounds blaming) — the mistake you were involved with regarding the steroid injection? You wrote about being “too proud” to tell your manager that a shift's assignment was “potentially overwhelming” — Why was that? Thoughts on laws requiring certain nurse to patient ratios? What can be done about the problem of nurses not getting breaks or time to eat lunch Thoughts on 12-hour shifts? Increased risk of error, but fewer handoffs. Can we improve the way handoffs are done? “One of the key factors in burnout, though, is employees feeling like they have little control over their work environment. That's pretty much status quo in hospitals for nurses and doctors.” — What can be done about that?? Epilogue - your main recommendations for our American health system?

Today's episode is the first part of a two-part series with Theresa. Come back in two weeks for the next part in Episode #65. In today's episode, Theresa talks about the need to improve healthcare for the sake of patients and for caregivers. How did Theresa's view of healthcare change when she became a breast cancer patient? Host Mark Graban also asks Theresa questions and discusses topics including: Is there sometimes an "empathy gap" in healthcare? Making things easy for patients is not currently a goal of healthcare? It sounds like nobody was coordinating (or explaining) your overall cancer situation? Why did you feel "left in the dark?" Did caregivers know you were a nurse? Were you reated differently? “This job would be easier if there weren't such a narrow divide between being the canary in the coal mine and Chicken Little" -- is there an empathy gap toward nurses and other caregivers?
